Editor's Notes
April 16, 2021:
Gutters are intended to prevent water damage by channeling rainwater away from the building and its foundations. However, when neglected they can become blocked with leaves, sticks, and other debris, which if left unattended, could eventually cause serious problems. A good quality gutter cover will keep the majority of debris away and significantly decrease the need for gutter maintenance, but they don’t eliminate the need completely. During this update, we replaced several options with their latest models and removed some which are no longer available.
The popular Gardena 3650 was switched for the new Gardena 3651, which uses their improved pole system. It has an adjustable bracket for setting it at a suitable angle, and now features an integrated water connection for a garden hose. The Ezy Flo High Reach was replaced with the Ezy Flo Delux High Reach. The pole itself is still the same, but it now includes extra attachments for cleaning windows and stone floors, too. Similar to the Orbit 58543, the Kansing Hydro Jet is designed to connect to a regular garden hose and delivers a powerful jet of water for blasting away debris. It comes with several attachments that increase its range of uses, including a flexible neck, interchangeable nozzles, and even a soap dispenser. The Buyplus Retractable was upgraded to the Buyplus High Reach, which as the name suggests, is now longer at 12-feet and more rigid thanks to its aluminum construction. It also has a 21-inch flexible and bendable wand that allows it to reach into gutters of any shape or size. Finally, the Edou Telescoping Lance is an upgraded model that now extends to 20-feet and has a more heavy-duty construction. It is quite difficult to maneuver at full reach, and therefore should be used with the supplied body harness.

There are many different ways to clean out your gutters. Some will still use the old-fashioned ladder and broom technique, however with this selection of tools and accessories you can find a more efficient solution that suits the requirements of your home.
If your property has low-level guttering then basic hand tools, like the Gutter Getter, Gardena 3650 or the Gutter Sense may suffice. People with two-story houses may want to consider something that can extend, such as the Ezy Flo High Reach, the Buyplus Retractable or the EDOU Telescoping Lance, all of which removes the necessity of ladders.
If you happen to have a pressure washer then the ExtendoWasho Hydro Jet, Tool Daily Turbo Nozzle and the EDOU Telescoping Lance all come with universal fittings to connect to most models. The Sun Joe Electric Blower, on the other hand, is a versatile garden blower and vacuum that has an integrated leaf mulcher that can turn the debris in your gutter into compost.
